Slow network

Hi,

The network that i've setup is slow.

I've discovered that it maybe to do with the protocols. The protocols on
both the server and the client are different. One is ipx and the other is
tcp/ip.

Which should i be using?

What boxes should be ticked in network protocol on the client and the
server? Such as "qos packet scheduler" etc...

Do these options differ from server to client?

IPX is / was the older protocol used for Novell servers. Do you have an old
Novell Netware server?

QoS Scheduler is for IP traffic "shaping" and you can "uncheck" this if your
router is not using this feature.

Hi
Use TCP/IP, and optimized each computer's TCP/IO Stack.
Optimizing the TCP/IP Stack - http://www.ezlan.net/Internet_Speed.html
As a frame of reference these are the common Network "Speeds".

I was right it was to do with the protocols!!!

There was actually a missing protocol on the server called - Link-layer
topology discovery responder. The speeds have shot up, from 100mb in 5mins to
1gb in 5 mins.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!
